A really simple dish, full of plenty of veg, that my 6 year old son loves to help cook with me. It is one of those very flexible recipes that you can add pretty much whatever veg you have into it and it would work really well with the Wall's sausage balls.

Also works well with any type of pasta. We love it with fresh tagliatelle or tricolore pasta twists.

I cook it all in one pan and then serve with the pasta.

Fry a chopped onion
Add the Wall's sausageballs
Chop and fry (in just a little olive oil) courgette, carrots, peppers (any colour).
You don't need to but you can at this point add in any other veg you prefer (e.g. sliced mushrooms, or even frozen veg works ok like frozen sweetcorn / peas etc).
Add a tin of chopped tomatoes
Sprinkle a little dried mixed herbs.

When everything is cooked through - it is ready! Serve with your fave type of pasta and enjoy!

Sausage meatball ragu

Chop an onion, a carrot and a celery stalk. Crush a clove of garlic. Sweat it all in some olive oil until soft. Add a splash of red wine and reduce. Add a tablespoon of tomato paste and a tin of chopped tomatoes. Fill the tin with water and add to the pan. Add some chopped sage and rosemary and a dozen juniper berries. Add salt and pepper. Add the sausage meatballs which you have already browned in a seperate pan and simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until you have a thick sauce and the meatballs are cooked through. Serve with freshly grated pecorino or parmesan.

This is are really easy recipe that can be doubled to feed a crowd or freeze for another day. I have always used chopped up sausages but will try sausageballs now as it will be even easier.

Sausage and Pasta Ragout

1 tsp olive oil
500g sausage balls
1 onion, sliced
1 red pepper, sliced
1 yellow pepper sliced
2 cloves garlic
397g tin chopped tomatoes
300ml chicken stock
1 tbsp dark brown sugar
300g penne pasta
Salt and pepper

Place the oil in a large saucepan and add the onions and fry until soft.

Add the peppers and garlic and fry for another 5 minutes.

Stir in the chopped tomatoes, stock and brown sugar, bring to the boil and and gently simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

While the sauce is cooking fry the sausageballs in a pan (I find a wok is great for frying meatballs as you can move them around easily.)

Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions (usually 10 minutes)

When the sauce is cooked add the sausageballs, stir well and simmer for another 5 minutes. season with a little salt and pepper.

Drain the pasta and serve with the sauce poured over it
